Welcoming new things!

Well, here we are. After a super busy weekend running the kids all over town, I find myself crash-landed on my couch with the dog. I'm thinking about my grandmother's surprise birthday party yesterday and I'm sort of bummed that we couldn't make it (as she lives in Oregon). Then I begin to think about my sister-in-law's baby shower scheduled in June and start to wonder how I can work finances - and time - around so that I can attend (she lives in Arkansas). And then I snap back to reality and have realized that my house definitely looks like I've been gone all weekend and is rather neglected - should I ever leave the house again? Ha! 

As I write here, I'm waiting for a 'sneak-peek' of Parker's "Parker Turns One" pictures from his photoshoot yesterday morning. I still can't believe the kids are growing up so fast!...which may be the root cause for this blog being created - so those of you who don't see the wild children on a regular basis can watch them grow. But in the meantime, I suppose I could start on some housework so we can get out of the house -- it's a beautiful 77 degree and sunny day out today. And wouldn't you know it - Parker's 'sneak-peek' has been published (Courtesy of AM Photography in Phoenix, AZ)...

 Well, I suppose I should go show the star his new pictures and plan my day out with the kiddos.

Back to reality - and the dishes.
